Officials say a male suspect entered the bank and passes a note to a teller announcing a robber but no weapon was displayed. He was last seen running west with bank proceeds towards a TGI Fridays restaurant.

The suspect is described as a hispanic or asian male in his mid 20’s to early 30’s, approximately 5’5 tall, with a thin build and goatee, wearing a black jacket, gray sweatpants and sunglasses.

Four area elementary schools in the immediate area of the bank were placed on a modified lockdown as a precaution. The schools were the Ronald L. Meinders Primary Learning Center, McKinley Avenue School, Stafford Intermediate School and All Saints Regional Catholic School.

Police say a search of the area by police including two k9 search teams did not locate the subject.
